off TO Sept /, leaving from January TO Sep

found after the first of August in any num-
beers. The law imposed a fine upon the ex-
press companies, railroads and all common
carriers having in their possession for trans

protracted calling on strange gods and much
music in the air when ~Ah Sin" is called
upon to pull down his clothes lines and pack
up his fiat-irons and buttons and strings
